A common complaint of Florida condo owners is the purported widespread refusal of association boards of directors and property managers to share material information about their respective communities.

During the 2024 legislative session, Florida officials made another effort to deal with this criticism by further revising the state’s condo law.

As the latest version of the Florida condo law currently stands, associations are required to collect 20 records – dubbed the “Official Records” – that must be maintained and made available for inspection to unit owners and their representatives.

The law goes on to state that Florida condo associations “may not require a member to demonstrate any purpose or state any reason for the inspection.”
